oldtimer Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 My nickname in school (1947-54) was always Gloops! Being a little fat, and wearing glasses, I guess I resembled Gloops, but it was never said to me in anything but a put-down!I hated that little feline! Then, lo and behold, Garfield came on the scene. Thankfully, I was too old to have that name bestowed on me. Just as an afterthought, when I first got a computer, and entered into the world of 'user names and passwords', the only name that came to me was, you guessed it, GLOOPS!!! Still use it to this day as my password! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

depoix Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 think your right,wish i had,nt posted this..think of all the people who are getting complexes reminding them of when they were younger and were a bit over weight or wore glasses...nowt so cruel as kids..i remember fishing on graves park a few years ago when a man walked on and one of the other anglers said out loud " fxxk me gloops is back " forty odd years after we last saw gloops,theres a million memories out there shame is the ones with the memories of how sheffield used to be dont have pc,s .....what a waste of knowledge.like a lost library...sad....i,m sure the uni or polly could get a grant to collect some of this info before its too late and all the sheffield folk with the knowledge have passed on........am i showing my age ?
